Te Oro And Matariki

In the morning we lined up to go to Te Oro. Us and Room Five walked down Line  Street. When we got to Te Oro we had  to take off our shoes.  We saw a Maori lady with a moko on her face.  She told us that the ladies had to go in first. The boys then followed them.  We all sat quietly on the mat. The Maori people sang a song to us. After they sang they divided us into groups.

They put me with Whaia Kelly’s group. We learned how to draw  a Koru and piko piko and niho and a hammerhead shark.

We all went to get rocks and we started to paint. I painted with gold glitter, red glitter, and  green glitter, and green and purple paints. I was trying to paint myself but instead I painted a pig.

We introduced ourselves to the whole group. Bella  had to explain what we did.

Then we walked back to school. By Taniela
